Mobipocket format is OK as an archive format. The full specification isn't public, but enough has been reverse engineered that it's fairly easy to convert back to standard XHTML and metadata if necessary.

Keep it as Mobipocket until you need it in something else. ePUB looks like being the best bet, but although Calibre does pretty good Mobi->ePub conversion now, it is only going to get better with time.
Thank you very much for your response!

I think I have one follow-up from your responses: how should I think about the other book formats out there? Ie, why did you recommend ePub - are there certain benefits to it vs. the Microsoft .LIT format, or the Mobi format?
